Primal Screm!

I haven't posted here in a week or more because my life has not been my own lately. Too many commitments and too little time has caused this girl be be too stressed out. Stress is never good and as you might have already guessed I don't deal with it well.

This is usually my screaming place! So excuse me while I do my primal scream.....

Last week we did a very heavy container (44,100 pounds) for a Bible College in Ethiopia. We are still tired from doing all the physical energy that was required for the task. We are supposed to do another container this weekend for Bolivia.

We have run into some major obstacles so it has been postponed till later in the month. Meanwhile back at the ranch......we are still working this weekend as we scheduled groups to come in and help load the container. We have since found out that this next container will be much more complicated and need even greater detail than we have ever had to do.

The best thing we can do is palletize the 300 monitors and CPU's before hand so we will know the weight, count and can number the lot instead of each individual piece . We have since found out that we will have to do this for every thing that goes in the container as it will be unloaded and stored at the customs warehouse and will be scrutinized for any infraction.

We will have our volunteers bring the monitors and CPU's up from the basement and put them on pallets this weekend. It looks like all the work will have to be done in advance and checked off as it goes into the container.

Mr. Wonderful is strongly hinting that I need to cancel my trip to Savannah.....
